perf: Fix mmap() accounting hole
commit 9bb5d40c upstream. Vince's fuzzer once again found holes. This time it spotted a leak in the locked page accounting. When an event had redirected output and its close() was the last reference to the buffer we didn't have a vm context to undo accounting. Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context to undo the vm accounting. [Backporting for 3.4-stable. VM_RESERVED flag was replaced with pair 'VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' in 314e51b9 since 3.7.0-rc1, and 314e51b9 comes from a big patchset, we didn't backport the patchset, so I restored 'VM_DNOTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' as before: - vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP; + vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_RESERVED; -- zliu] Reported-and-tested-by:Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Signed-off-by:
